$\begingroup$ Bit too coincidental I think. But you're right it could have been something else. Don't forget, this is supposed to be limited by what one can do with basically paper and pencil. $\endgroup$– htmlcoderexeCommented Jun 2, 2021 at 16:54

$\begingroup$ I wondered if the coordinates of each cell of the path may be relevant but can't think how that would work... $\endgroup$– ChrisCommented Jun 3, 2021 at 9:45

1$\begingroup$ @JosephSible-ReinstateMonica In fact, the latest hint seems to suggest that it might not be the case at all. $\endgroup$– Admiral JotaCommented Jun 3, 2021 at 15:19

$\begingroup$ @AdmiralJota yep the new hint invalidates most of my thinking here. I do not know what is the best etiquette here - do I post s second answer, do I edit this one or do I delete this one and post a new one? I won't be able to get to this for another few hours either way... $\endgroup$– htmlcoderexeCommented Jun 3, 2021 at 15:43

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. logical-deduction), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
